Question 1 of 5
A client is receiving doxorubicin as part of treatment for ovarian cancer. Which of these is a possible adverse effect of doxorubicin?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Cardiotoxicity. Doxorubicin is known to cause damage to the heart muscle, leading to cardiomyopathy and heart failure. This is because doxorubicin generates free radicals that can harm cardiac cells. Hyperuricemia (
A) is not a common adverse effect of doxorubicin. Neurotoxicity (
B) and pulmonary toxicity (
C) are not typically associated with doxorubicin use.
Therefore, the correct choice is cardiotoxicity.
